Gentleman Jack is a period drama based on the life of Anne Lister, a wealthy landowner, diarist and traveller; Suranne Jones is in the lead role.

Lister died in 1840 aged just 49 and the drama is based on some of her extensive diaries – totalling around four million words - that chronicled her life including her European travels, her work restoring the historic Shibden Hall and her lesbian relationships, for which she became known by locals as Gentleman Jack.
